true story
2006年11月25日Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
Belgian
beer， then travelling home， grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish
kebab
on
the way， to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a
Japanese
TV.
And the most British thing of all? - Suspicion of all things foreign!
Only in Britain can a pizza get to your house faster than an
ambulance.
Only in Britain do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to
the
back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can
buy
cigarettes at the front.
Only in Britain do people order double cheeseburgers， large fries and
a
DIET
coke.
Only in Britain do banks leave both doors
open and chain the pens to the
counters.
Only in Britain do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the
drive
and
lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Britain do we use answering machines to screen calls and then
have
call waiting so we won’t miss a call from someone we didn’t want to
talk
to in the first place.
Only in Britain are there disabled parking places in front of a
skating
rink.
NOT TO MENTION..
3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new
shirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
screwdrivers.
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while
the
fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas
decorations
were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas
cracker-pulling
accidents.
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit
cigarette
in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after
trying
to open bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control
Scalextric
cars.
and finally...
In 2000 eight Brits were admitted
to hospital with fractured skulls incurred
whilst throwing up into the toilet.
If you’re proud to be British， send this on!
